Determined and ambitious, two qualities they both epitomize, the writing is very much on the wall for them. Even with subsidies, they are struggling to make it work. Charlie and Isabella are working hard on their farm, investing in the latest technology, intensively farming every possible part of the land to maximise productivity because, truth be told, their land isn’t good farmland for cash crops.
